I'm confused which wojack goes with which book?

Based retard

ready player one is trash for other reasons. Ernest Cline is incapable of describing something without a paragraph long simile.

>Blood Meridian is power fantasy
An Albino Giant isn't the most relatable character.

I post this in every RP1 thread. If you're considering reading that book, watch this first:

That's why it's a "power fantasy" retard, because he's someone you can never be.

You don't lnow what power fantasy means, you fucking retard.

I genuinely don't know how you can't see people idolize Judge Holden for his great power and absolute clarity.

Holy heckin' based. You just know if this was posted here on /lit/ as a shitpost it would be praised. Instead, anons go ape shit over the crocodile author.

Power fantasy is escapism. The protag needs to be a self insert for the reader so that he may live out his 'fantasies'. Not only is Judge Holden not a self insert, he is also barely human making him hard to relate with anyone.

I'm not, don't really care for either.

Literature is about empathy, not sympathy.

>>18335582
Relatable isn't just sympathy.
